The only list of "US Assets" around the world that I'm aware of is a Signals Intelligence Directive that lists every US SIGINT System site. (I used to call it the "NSA Travel Guide.&quot It's SECRET Handle via COMINT Channels Only, but it's not codeword material.

A list of "US Assets" that's got names of people in it would be something CIA would have. It WOULD be codeword material, and it wouldn't be something Snowden would have had access to even if he was an intelligence officer, seeing as how CIA and NSA don't work and play well together.
